Interesting article and showing just how do deeply screwed Nokia is.
This explains a lot of the actions that Elop is taking and why. I dont agree with the view of going after android in the closure. Android is so locked into its own services that Windows was the better option.

Quoting from Slashdot " and I hope the people who truly screwed up the amazing Linux opportunity that was the N900 get shut down in the process."
I cant believe something so well thought out at the start, an Idea so perfect for out time could be guided into obsolescence.

Just a pile of crap. Lets make up history so it suits my arguments - kind of crap.

Its good that someone can have an objective opinion and smell the grass when trapped in a jungle of fanboyism, FUD and marketing.
Great article.

There has to be some good reason Nokia's plans failed to launch. I thought he made reasonable points.

And here is how financial analysts are processing the situation:

Words to the wise:
In addition, Nokia’s stock still isn’t cheap. Based on 2011 earnings estimates from Credit Suisse and others, it trades at 18 times earnings.
In comparison, Research in Motion – which also has a doubtful future – trades at nearly half that valuation. This indicates Nokia shares will trade even lower in the months ahead.
